The battery monitor is built into the next batch so how will this affect future builds...?
I was kind of thinking it would be useful for older builds like mine. I was away when the monitor pcb went for sale, so I didn't get my order in....

Battery Indication Alternative

According to the thread, Helder has officially axed the battery boards, and if you didn't get your order in, then you're kind of out of luck. ...or are you? I found this for really cheap on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Li-po-Battery-Indicator-Display-Board-Power-Storage-Monitor-For-Battery-Parts-HU...

Re: Connect lcd.

Which LCD? the one with helder's adapter for the screen? In that case, just attatch the ribbon cable from the two.
If you use anything else, then you either have to solder it yourself, or wait until wermy starts selling a pin-to-ribbon cable adapter.

Re: And the winner of the darwin award goes to...

Please don't tell me you actually kept the thing?
Just do that thing some other member did, and shoot it from a far distance, and watch it explode.
These things tend to get a lot of views on youtube....

Re: JST jack removal

At push some nail clippers might give you some control. How does that work?? Can someone label the alternate powerboost? I'd get flush cutters, but I also want the board to charge the battery faster, at 1A. Is BAT+ and BAT- where the output is? Is IN+ and IN- where the battery goes to? Would it als...

JST jack removal

I don't have flush cutters, and I'm terrified of lifting a pad off the adafruit battery charger.
Will scissors suffice?
Any help appreciated :D

(Wanted) 18 pf and/or 15pf ceramic cap

There is a component labled 'c1' on the sound card that was bumped off, and as helder has told me, it's essential to get sound to work.
It's a long shot, but I'm gonna try to solder another one into it's place carefully.
I just can't seem to find them anywhere. Help? :(

Re: Screen goes blank after selecting game or menu

I've had this issue too, so does this mean I have to solder in the sound card to get it to work?

Re: Spotted in the press!

Hardly surprising to me, it already got mentioned in so many other news websites, although MagPi does seem to be more popular!
